Flash plug-in not listed in the Safari installed plug-ins page

Dear all,

I'm running Mac OS 10.5.8 on a Intel Imac and I'm facing the same problem since the first time I wanted to upgrade the version 10 of the Flash plug-in.

I have different accounts and various internet browsers (Safari, FireFox, Opera, Chrome) only Safari, on my main account (admin), causes problems. Actually the plug-in (10.3) is properly installed in  /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/, so common to all accounts (the users' Internet Plug-Ins folders are empty) and it is visible from the System Preferences application.

Internet Plug-Ins folder content:

AdobePDFViewer.plugin
CANONiMAGEGATEWAYDL.plugin
CANONiMAGEGATEWAYLI.plugin
DirectorShockwave.plugin
Flash Player.plugin
flashplayer.xpt
iPhotoPhotocast.plugin
JavaPluginCocoa.bundle
npContributeMac.bundle
nsIQTScriptablePlugin.xpt
Quartz Composer.webplugin
QuickTime Plugin.plugin
QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
VerifiedDownloadPlugin.plugin
But Safari doesn't lists the flash plug-in in the installed plug-ins page and returns a missing plug-in error message as I visit any website containing a flash movie. When I replace the current plug-in with version 10.0.r2 it works fine.
Before installing any upgrade I first run the uninstaller, restart the computer and then install the newest version. I tried many things to fixe this very annoying problem without success. I'm not going to list all of them but I mainly cleared Safari and Flash Player preferences, Safari Cache.db, removed all other plug-ins (to check for conflicts). I also used some tools as Apple Disk utily and OnyX to repair disk permissions and fix other possible problems.
I would be very grateful if you could help me!

    I've sent email to our mac and installer engineers.  I'm hoping they have additional suggestions, I'll let you know as soon as I hear back.

    Thanks,

    Chris


    Since 10.0 works for you, it sounds like you might be running into a universal issue now that the later versions no longer support ppc.  Can you do a Get Info on Safari, then make sure the checkbox "Open using Rosetta" is unchecked?

    Thanks,

    Have you tried deleting the following folders in the Admin account?

    ~/Library/Caches/Adobe/Flash Player/

    ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/

    Hello Kris, thank you for your quick answer.

    Yes I did it several time before and after removing/installing the plug-in. I have also replaced them with the ones copied from another of my account. Both attempts failed.

    Just a shot in the dark, but can you try increasing permissions?  Open terminal and go into the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder and execute:

    "sudo chmod +R 777 Flash\ Player.plugin/"

    If that works, you might want to dial it back a bit to "sudo chmod +R 775 Flash\ Player.plugin/"
